HOLDER FOR HACK SAWS.

Application filed July 2S,

T 0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, HUGO Scr-nzonnnn, citizen of the United States of America, residing at S9 Brookside Avenue, Torrington, in the county of Litchiield and State ot Con.n necticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Hack Saws, of which the following is a speciiication.

r1`his invention relates to a holder for hack saws, among the objects of the `inven tion being,` the provision of an article of this character which is simple in construction and which possesses the necessary rigidity to avoid the likelihood of being shattered or fractured in use.

In the drawing accompanying and forming part of the present specification there is illustrated an advantageous form of einbodiment of the invention which. to enable those skilled in the art to practice the salme will be set forth `liully in the following description. Clearly I ain not restricted to this exact disclosure. I may depart therefrom in several particulars within the scope of the invention defined by the claims fcllowing said description.

Referring to said drawing:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a. handle involving the invention.

Firr-2 is a cross section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Like characters refer to like parts in both ligures.

The handle which is generally of wood in- 1924. Serial No. 728,592.

volves in its make-up ashank as 2 having a downward projection as 3, which is usually grasped in the hand, is ordinarily curved and at an obtuse angle to the shank 2. As shown, the shank 2 has in it two longitudinally extending parallel. grooves, as 4 and 5, which are open at the ends and the form tion of which produces a fin or rib 6 which leaves the structure su'liiciently rigid to resist lateral strains and stresses. rIhe shank 2 receives within it the cheeks of a sheet metal holder. as 7. which bottom in the grooves 4: and 5 and the rear end of which is coincide-nt with the rear sur-face of the shank 2, as shown best in Fig. 1.

To securely hold the holder in position screws or pins, such as 9 and 10, maybe provided. As shown, the screws 9 and 10 threaded through the shank .2 and through the cheeks 4l and 5 of the holder 7 and eX- tend threadedwise through the nn or rib 6 and thus maintain the parts in secure relation and a gainst vibration or ch attering.

The saw holder 7 is formed up from sheet metal and when made its cheeks will straddle the rib or n 7, as shown best in Fig. 2.

`What I claim is:

A device of the class described comprising a holder of wood, having,` a shank furnished with an arm, the shank having therein a plurality of parallel grooves to form a lin between the grooves, and a holder straddling the iin and the cheeks ot which bottom in the grooves. Y

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.

HUGO SCHRGEDER.
